Nagato has such a slim waist

That night, the dark sky suddenly brightened in the middle of the night, the dark clouds drifted away, and the full moon rose. Under the moonlight, Nagato's silhouette was like a lurking cheetah in the whistling cold wind, quietly silent...

The three people at the table were polite and courteous, but there was a hidden meaning between the lines, and each of them had his own agenda. But later, when I recalled it, this banquet on the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month was the only one of its kind...

Gather together in a decent and peaceful manner.

The night party ended at three o'clock in the morning.

Pei Jue and Feng Yun saw Xiao Cheng off and suddenly stopped.

"Yun Niang, help me get the wind cloak."

Feng Yun lowered her eyes and smiled, "Wait a moment."

She knew Pei Cong wanted to get rid of her.

How could Xiao Cheng not know?
The two men watched Feng Yun leave, then slowly retracted their gazes and looked at each other coldly.

The friendliness disappeared from his face in an instant.

Xiao Cheng said: "Prince Yonghuai has something to say?"

"No." Pei Jue's mouth was cold.

"Then why did you send Ayun away?"

"What do you think?" Pei Jue looked straight at him, his cold voice did not seem proud, but told him appropriately - don't even think about touching my things.

Xiao Cheng raised his lips and lifted his eyelids.

"Why do you care so much about my existence and do these childish things?"

He smiled again and said, "It seems that Prince Yong Huai knows very well... that she doesn't love you. Is this indisputable fact making you feel uncomfortable and making you lose your composure?"

He laughed heartily.

His eyes cut through the surrounding air like sharp blades, as if trying to find some unknown truth from Pei Jue's face.

Pei Jue glanced over, his pupils deep and dark.

"We make love every night, and you say she doesn't love me?"

He took a step closer and stared at Xiao Cheng.

"Why is Lord Qi still unwilling to give up?"

Under the dim wind lantern, there seemed to be an undercurrent in Pei Jue's eyes, which was difficult to understand.

"Are you going to fight at all costs?"

Xiao Cheng frowned slightly.

Pei Jue's undisguised attacking power was backed by the Jin Dynasty's powerful military force. What was being questioned was not his feelings for Feng Yun, but the national strength of the Great Qi.

"King Yonghuai has misunderstood." Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then his voice came slowly, "Ayun and I have known each other since childhood. Even if we are not husband and wife, we are old friends. If you marry her, please treat her well and do not let her become... a pawn in a power struggle between men."

This is a roundabout way of saying that Pei Jue's feelings for Feng Yun were all based on political considerations and his struggle with him.

Can Pei Jue listen?
He snorted coldly.

"Mr. Qi's words are really ridiculous. Why should outsiders worry about my wife? It's like a dog biting a rat!"

Xiao Cheng's throat stiffened, his eyes swept to the pretty figure standing quietly inside the door, and he lowered his eyes slightly.

"Ayun deserves it, the best sincerity in the world."

Pei Jue hummed softly, his tone slow and tired.

"So, you don't deserve it."

She deserved the best, but the best was not him.

Xiao Cheng looked at him quietly.

Pei Jue looked back.

The two people's gazes intertwined in the air, as if there was an invisible battlefield, fighting in the undercurrent, and blood flowing like a river.

After a while, Xiao Cheng sighed and bowed to say goodbye.

Pei Jue did not send any more.

He stood still for a moment, then turned his eyes and saw the hand holding the door handle.

"heard it?"

Feng Yun walked out from the dim light, without a wind cloak in his hand, his eyes extremely clear.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"You stood up for me."

She smiled slightly, and there was a loneliness and sadness in her voice that seemed to have come from her previous life.

"I was once an abandoned woman, but now I am proud and have avenged my past shame. It is all because of your Majesty's appreciation of me."

Pei Cong flicked his wide sleeves, walked forward, held her hand, and walked into the house.

"In this way, can it offset the fault of coming back late?"

Feng Yun glanced at him, her voice was soft but her gaze was stern.

"That depends on what happened to the king. What hindered his progress and made him come back late?"

The wedding is tomorrow.

In fact, he came back not too late.

But if Yunniang says it's too late, then it must be too late.

He said ashamedly, "I overestimated myself. I have so many things to deal with, and they are all tangled together. No matter how hard I try, it has dragged on until today."

After saying that, he grabbed Feng Yun's hand and slapped her on the face.

"Let Yunniang vent her anger."

Feng Yun couldn't help laughing.

"I thought he was seduced by beauty..."

"No." Pei Jue said, "If I were greedy for beauty, I would not have come to Huaxi at this time."

What he meant was that only Feng Yun could be considered a "beauty" in his eyes...

Very talkative.

When you meet someone after three days, you really need to look at him with new eyes.

Feng Yun stared at her, "How is Li Sangruo?"

Pei Jue said: "He was escorted back to Xijing together with the old officials of Yecheng."

Feng Yun asked again: "Where is Tang Shaogong?"

He was a hero in the battle of Yecheng and an old member of Xie's army. Pei Cong could treat him lightly as he treated everyone else, but it was not reasonable for him to treat him unfairly.

That's a hot potato.

Pei Jue seemed not to notice and said calmly, "Send him to escort them."

Feng Yun was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

"Good idea." Since you have doubts, then go and resolve them.

Don't look at what a person says, just look at what he does.

The two talked as they walked, and when they returned to the room to wash up and were about to lie down, they received shocking news.

"Lord Qi suddenly fell ill after drinking, and the accompanying imperial physician was sent over..."

Feng Yun and Pei Jue looked at each other.

"What disease?"

The spy outside stood still, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"It's hard to ask about Lord Qi's affairs. But he was sick tonight, it seems to be a heart disease? He was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead and he almost fainted..."

Feng Yun said nothing.

She didn't remember that Xiao Cheng had a heart disease.

Pei Jue snorted, and the final verdict was reached.

"I'm angry. Go to sleep."
-
The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

The next day was Wen Xingsu’s wedding ceremony.

All the necessary matters had been arranged. The Wen family had an aunt, and Wen Xingsu himself had a biological mother. As for Feng Yun, the younger sister, there wasn't much she could do on the wedding day.

Xiaoman went to find Daman, and Feng Yun brought Huan'er and Pei'er to chat with Pei Yuan who came from afar.

A Zuo and A You also came.

Because Aozai was locked in Feng Yun's room, the two children were very interested in seeing it, so Feng Yun asked Amir to take them there.

Pei Yuan was still indifferent to Amir.

But she was not a mean person by nature. Although she was not satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she did not say much. She just asked Feng Yun in a roundabout way about some details of Ao Qi and Amir's relationship.

Feng Yun naturally said something nice.

Pei Yuan suddenly lowered her eyes, looked at Amir's cheerful back, and suddenly lowered her voice.

"It's been a while since we got married, but why is there no news..."

Feng Yun was startled.

Although she was talking about Amir, she felt like she was also stabbed.

"There's no rush." ​​She said with a smile, "Having children depends on fate."

Pei Yuan then realized that Feng Yun and Pei Jue had been married for many years but had not given birth, and she was immediately embarrassed.

"Yeah, yeah, this kind of thing can't be rushed, take your time."

Feng Yun smiled.

She could tell that Pei Yuan was comforting her.

But she didn't really need to.

As the two talked, someone would come over to say hello from time to time. Feng Yun would occasionally socialize with them, chatting with the host here and there...

However, her focus was always on the maids behind Pei Yuan.

This time Pei Yuan not only brought Cui Zhi, but also Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang.

Cui Zhi's father and brother were escorted back to Xijing. Pei Yuan brought her out deliberately because she didn't want to embarrass herself at that time.

As for the sisters Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang...

That’s because it’s so useful and so desirable.

She used to think Cui Zhi was considerate, but after all, she was born into a noble family, so she was a little reserved. Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang had no such concerns at all...

It was like it was tailor-made for her, everything was handy for her, and she felt inconvenienced without it...

Feng Yun thought that this pair of twin sisters were truly extraordinary.

Except for herself, almost everyone who came into contact with them, without exception, praised and loved them.

Even when they arrived at Nagato, they behaved very appropriately, not showing off, not losing their sense of proportion, and there was nothing wrong with them...

If they were really spies sent by Xiao Cheng to Dajin, and were unable to stay with her and Pei Cong, how could they remain calm?

Feng Yun was thinking about how to find out the truth when he suddenly saw Madam Chen approaching aggressively with several servants.

There are only female guests here.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to kill someone, everyone looked at her nervously and the discussions stopped abruptly.

"Feng Shier Niang, let me ask you a question."

Mrs. Chen pointed at Feng Yun and glared at her.

"My son is getting married, and I can't take charge?"

Seeing her like this, Huan'er and Pei'er wanted to rush to Feng Yun's side, but Feng Yun raised her hand to stop them.

Feng Yun looked at Chen disapprovingly and bowed slightly.

"Madam, when you say you are in charge, do you mean money or labor? If you want to pay, you are late. If you want to labor, you can go and see if there is any work that can be done by a mother like you..."

She squinted coldly.

"If you mean showing off one's might and bossing others around, I'm sorry, Huaxi doesn't lack such people in charge."

"Sharp-tongued." Madam Chen said bitterly, "Don't think that you can turn right into wrong just because you have a clever tongue. Tell me, what's the matter with Madam Tu? And the eldest aunt of the Wen family? Are they closer to me than my biological mother? Why do they listen to them in everything and exclude me, their biological mother?"

"Have you been excluded?" Feng Yun asked back.

Madam Chen said angrily, "None of the servants in the Wen residence listen to me. Do you think this is rejection?"

The angrier she got, the calmer Feng Yun became.

"It is not uncommon for servants not to recognize their wives. They will recognize whoever sends them the monthly salary. This is human nature."

After a pause, she glanced around and suddenly asked with a smile:

"So, Madam, what are you trying to do by coming to me to argue? Do you want to punish the ignorant servants on the day of your eldest brother's wedding, or do you want to make a scene at the wedding banquet and let the guests see how inappropriate your eldest brother's mother is?"

There was a buzzing sound all around.

Everyone was talking among themselves.

Awan was even sneering in the crowd.

"This lady, do you think you have a grudge against General Wen? The new bride hasn't even come to the house yet, but you're already making trouble. Are you determined to ruin General Wen's wedding?"

"A vicious woman, no more than that."

She has a beautiful voice, very outstanding.

This immediately attracted a lot of laughter.

There had been an old feud between Jin and Qi, and when they saw the chance, a group of Jin women would be sarcastic and poke at her spine.

Mrs. Chen was once again humiliated by being pointed at by thousands of people. She was so angry that her blood boiled and her mind went blank. She pointed at Feng Yun and shouted at him.

"Unfilial daughter, kneel down!"

"Kneel down!" (End of this chapter)
